Back before the great database meltdown I used to have a Friday Funnies category.  I thought it might be time to resurrect this fun, useless category.  Without further adieu: Fun stuff I’ve found in my travels this week, pithy comments included.

http://www.livenews.com.au/Articles/2008/11/12/Nirvana_baby_recreates_album_cover__17_years_later – but wait…he’s fully clothed?

http://antigayblacklist.com/ – douschebags.

http://shouldiusetablesforlayout.com/ – view the source code for added fun.

http://www.alwayswatching.org/features/25-fantastic-indie-gems-made-less-1-million – for real?  No kidding!

http://www.ishkur.com/articles/trancecracker.php – esp. for Smartula

http://www.boreme.com/boreme/funny-2003/s_heathrow-p1.php – right up there with Heywood Jablowme.  But Better.

http://www.xymbiot.com/ – WTF?  Great…just encouraging litter and irresponsible non-recycling.  Douschbags x2.

http://www.iwatchstuff.com/2008/11/jerry_garcia_biopic_coming_in.php – awesome!  Remind me to dust off the bong.  But in all seriousness…I’m looking forward to this.

http://www.oneplusyou.com/q/v/caffeine – I scored a 207.  Beat it.

http://www.sonomawireworks.com/iphone/fourtrack/ – speaking of beat it.

http://www.threadbombing.com/data/media/48/obama_puppy.jpg – yes we did, and yes I AM!

Have a great weekend peeps!

Wassup 2008

Ok, really quick one here, but I think this is pure genius.  Whether you’re standing in the Red Line or the Blue Line next Tuesday matters not to me.  The important thing is that you vote.

With that said, Brian sent this over to me a few days ago, and I just have to comment on 60frame’s brilliant film.  To understand this, you’ve got to be old enough to remember the circa 2000 Anheuser-Busch Budweiser commercial featuring the Wassup crew:

Fast forward 8 years:

Like I said, it could be a McCain ad, or an Obama ad.  It matters not, but the brilliance of reaching back 8 years to re-create a popular ad, and wrap it around a message of WTF happened, is simply brilliant.
